I worked at Calvert Memorial Hospital for 10 years. Very compassionate staff. Patient safety a top priority. Team effort amongst staff. Great place to work. Clean environment. I would recommend others to work at CMH.

Wonderful group of co-workers whom all worked together as a team. The most enjoyable part of this job for me was getting to help those in time of need. The hardest part being seeing the condition of some patients as they are brought in by ambulance, but you learn to put those feelings aside and know that you have a job to do, along side the doctors/nurses, to start the process of getting that person the medical attention they need.

I get to work early and my employee are wonderful and I love working there. but the manager is horriable, he is sneaky and only thinks about himself. if u work in that department be careful they are watching you..

I thoroughly enjoyed working for CMH. The staff were extremely professional and helpful. I learned many new things mostly on time management. The most enjoyable part of my job was working with the patients and the staff.

Calvert Memorial Hospital... What is there to say, It was my home away from home. I can honestly say I love each and every one of the nurses, CNAs, Pharmacists, Housekeepers, RADs. ALMOST every Doctor and ALMOST all of my direct Co-workers. CMH is a great place to work as far as a family setting. We all had fun and got the job done quickly and efficiently and correctly. Yeah, sure we bickered every now and again, but that's what families do.

However, it is a VERY political place. Other than my immediate supervisor, upper management will not hesitate to cut you loose to save themselves. They are all warm and personable but when it comes down to between you and them... take a guess. They won't go to bat for you if you have a problem nor tend to listen to all sides of the story before making their judgment call about it, They say fair trial and all, that's not the case here.

Advancement is nearly non-existent partly because of the economy, other part, they forget. Was there 4 years still getting paid the same wage I started with, while NEW employees were getting paid 2-3 dollars more who had little to no experience. When brought up to upper management, "oh you are right, you were supposed to get a raise 3.5 years ago"Well, I received it and it was still lower than the newbies. Bring it up again, they start nit picking everything you do so you do not get that raise and you are fired or recommended and forced to resign.

Do not get me wrong, I loved my job, I cried when I had to leave, it was honestly the best Job I had ever had. I loved all of my patients and most of my co-workers. – more... I get along with just about everybody and they with me. So in every sense of the word,

Family for MOST co-workers.

High school mess for OTHER co-workers.

Politics for management.

Not a bad review, just the truth, Again I say, I loved working there and if I could I would go back in a heartbeat. Good luck in your decision to join a very talented team and caring team of caregivers. I say its worth it. Just do not let your guard down.

Anyone who say's "its just a job" doesn't know the job, because it is anything but JUST a job, It's home. – less

CMH was a great place to work with excellent nurses. I enjoyed my time there very much. I learned an incredible amount of knowledge and got excellent nursing experience from the nurses that had been there longer than myself.

A non for profit hospital, that is located in a small city. Located in a small city where the majority of people know each other or are related to one another. Very tough place to get a job at, you have to either be related to or know someone in order to get hired in. If you are a transit like I was, you will not have a great opportunity to move forward.

I was responsible for registration and scheduling and drawing of patients blood for therapeutic phlebotomies. I learn more about myself and how to deal with patients on a one on one basis. the hardest part of my job was that I did not have enough hours in my work day to care for all of my patients .I had over 170 patients and only two days a week to do them. I also worked in the ER registration department .
